Re: Detroit and Miami going OT

I'd still rather have the game in Minnesota over a couple of bad calls in which the game would have just gone ANOTHER OVERTIME....both situations we had the advantage and would likely have won anwyay.

What advantage did you have vs Memphis? They would have been going into OT on like an 11-0 run.

Yeah, an 11-0 run we more or less allowed them to have. No timeouts, no subs, we just really didnt think they could score 11 in 2 minutes. When we were giving effort, Memphis wasnt getting anything on us.

In any case, its not as if the refs took a guarenteed WIN away from either team....

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Yeah, well the effort obviously left the building. That's pretty arrogant to just assume your team would win the OT, especially after giving up 11 like that.

Re: Detroit and Miami going OT

Wanna hear something funny to me? Ronnie Nunn (head of officials) did call the Detroit/Minn game an error, but also went on to say that the Pistons did benefit from a ref's error in Golden St. that resulted in a Piston's victory. To me, it sounds like the Minn game was just kind of evening up things.

But, Detroit is still getting the favorable calls from the officials in the final seconds...

Yes...we are the New Lakers...the glamour team of the NBA....we pay David Stern money to make his refs give us the game...on the Minnesota game we were simply late on payments... you found us out....

Re: Detroit and Miami going OT

After seeing the highlights on NBA Fastbreak, how could that NOT have been called as a foul.

Miami has every right to complain that's for sure.

The refs were really horrible the whole game, that was just the latest one.

Haslem was due to miss SOMETHING anyway, its not like hes an automatic FT shooter.

Miami has 8 seconds to do something about it, and they didn't. It falls on them. ed:

You sure do make up a lot of excuses when it's not your team getting screwed. ed:

The Minnesota game was a special case.

That was the first time Ive EVER been that upset over a call, and you probably wont ever see me that critical of an official again. THis call wasnt even COMPERABLE to the Minnesota game. If we were given a full 9 seconds and the ball, I doubt you would have even heard me MENTION the call at all.

As I said before, when a team literlly WINS A GAME, and a ref steps in and takes it away with no time left, THEN I'll show some sympathy......but dont expect me to get all teary-eyed over a team that had 9 seconds to tie the game..... ed:
